About the Inductions:

The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Performer Inductees were chosen by more than 900 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first recording. This year’s group of Inductees include five artists (Joan Baez, ELO, Journey, Pearl Jam and Tupac Shakur) who were on the ballot for the first time and Yes, who’s been discussed and deliberated for a few years (third nomination – 2014, 2016, 2017). Pearl Jam and Tupac Shakur also became eligible for nomination this year for 2017 ceremony, having released their first album in 1991.

For this year’s Inductions, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame again offered fans the opportunity to officially participate in the selection process. The public was able to cast votes online for who they believe to be most deserving of induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The top five artists, as selected by the public, comprised a “fans’ ballot” that was tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2017 Inductees. More than 1.8 million fans voted and four out of five acts from the Fans’ Ballot are being inducted in 2017 – Journey, ELO, Pearl Jam and Yes.
